[snip]
I have considerable material concerning Thomas in my files, which I would be happy to cite for you should you be interested in seriously pursuing his ancestry. There are well-established links with the Rudyard family to both King Edward I (the colonist's mother's line) and Edward III (the colonist's paternal grandmother's line). I am currently in the process of gathering PCC wills documenting Rudyard's line to Edward III, having submitted most of my proofs to Gary Boyd Roberts, author of Royal Descents of 500 Immigrants (GPC, 2000). I am hoping that the previously published line to Edward I will be "upgraded" to reflect Rudyard's descent from Edward III, in time for publication of RD600.
Please visit my Web site for further particulars of my descent from Thomas Rudyard, and his connection to Edward III. You may link to the site at <http://home.earthlink.net/~kbrad60/MedievalGen.htm> .

Kevin Bradford
